Description
本発明は、組合せ計量装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a combination weighing device.
従来から、生チキン等の搬送しにくい粘着性のある物品を放射状に配置された搬送部に分散させるために、モータを用いて回転させることで物品を搬送する分散テーブルや、振動により物品を搬送する分散テーブルが知られている。 Traditionally, in order to disperse sticky items that are difficult to transport, such as raw chicken, onto radially arranged transport sections, dispersion tables that transport the items by rotating them using a motor, and systems that transport the items using vibrations have been used. Distributed tables are known.
しかしながら、モータを用いて回転させることで物品を搬送する分散テーブルには、コストが高い、衛生性が悪い等の問題点があった。 However, the dispersion table, which transports articles by rotating it using a motor, has problems such as high cost and poor hygiene.
また、振動により物品を搬送する分散テーブルには、物品が付着することで搬送部（フィーダ）の搬送力が物品に伝わらず搬送できないという問題点があった。かかる問題点を解決するために、かかる分散テーブルの傾斜角度を大きくする場合、物品が投入された直後に分散テーブルを一方向に転がり落ちることで分散性が悪化したり、装置の高さが高くなりレイアウトが制限されたりするという問題点が新たに生じる。 Further, a dispersion table that conveys articles by vibration has a problem in that if the articles adhere to the dispersion table, the conveying force of the conveying section (feeder) is not transmitted to the articles and the articles cannot be conveyed. In order to solve this problem, if the inclination angle of the dispersion table is increased, the dispersion may deteriorate due to the dispersion table rolling down in one direction immediately after the articles are loaded, or the height of the device may be too high. A new problem arises in that the layout is restricted.
さらに、従来、物品の付着対策や搬送力強化として鋸歯状の凹凸や溝を設けることが提案されているが、円錐形状の分散テーブルには適用が困難であるという問題点があった。 Further, although it has been proposed to provide sawtooth-like unevenness or grooves as a measure against adhesion of articles and to strengthen conveying force, there is a problem in that it is difficult to apply this method to a conical dispersion table.
そこで、本発明は、上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、粘着性のある物品を適切に搬送部に搬送できる組合せ計量装置を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a combination weighing device that can appropriately transport sticky articles to a transport section.
一実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置は、外部から供給される物品を受け取り搬送する分散テーブルと、前記分散テーブルに対して、前記物品を搬送させる搬送力を付加する駆動部と、前記分散テーブルから前記物品を受け取り、下流に向けて搬送する複数の搬送部と、前記搬送部から排出される前記物品を一時的に受け取り、下流に排出する複数のホッパと、前記ホッパのそれぞれに滞留する前記物品の重量値を取得する取得部と、前記取得部によって取得された前記重量値に基づいて組合せ計算する制御部と、を備え、前記分散テーブルにおける前記物品を搬送する表面において、円周方向又は放射方向に沿って上がっていく複数の傾斜面が形成されていることを要旨とする。 A combination weighing device according to one embodiment includes: a distribution table that receives and conveys articles supplied from the outside; a drive unit that applies a conveying force to the distribution table to convey the articles; a plurality of conveyance units that receive articles and convey them downstream; a plurality of hoppers that temporarily receive the articles discharged from the conveyance units and discharge them downstream; and a plurality of hoppers that temporarily receive the articles discharged from the conveyance units and discharge them downstream; an acquisition unit that acquires a weight value; and a control unit that performs a combination calculation based on the weight value acquired by the acquisition unit; The gist is that a plurality of slopes are formed that go up along the slope.
本発明によれば、粘着性のある物品を適切に搬送部に搬送できる組合せ計量装置を提供できる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a combination weighing device that can appropriately transport sticky articles to a transport section.

（第１実施形態）
以下、図１～図４を参照して、本発明の第１実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置１について説明する。
(First embodiment)
A combination weighing device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
図１に示すように、本実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置１は、分散テーブル１０と、駆動部２０と、複数の搬送部１１と、複数のプールホッパ１２と、複数の計量ホッパ１３と、集合排出シュート１５と、取得部３０と、制御部３１とを具備している。 As shown in FIG. 1, the combination weighing device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a dispersion table 10, a drive section 20, a plurality of conveyance sections 11, a plurality of pool hoppers 12, a plurality of weighing hoppers 13, and a collection. It includes a discharge chute 15, an acquisition section 30, and a control section 31.
分散テーブル１０は、外部（供給装置）から供給される物品（被計量物）を受け取り分散させながら搬送部１１に搬送する。 The distribution table 10 receives articles (objects to be weighed) supplied from the outside (supply device) and conveys them to the conveyance section 11 while distributing them.
例えば、本実施形態における分散テーブル１０は、図２（ａ）及び図２（ｂ）に示すように、後述の駆動部２０により、上下方向Ｕ/Ｄの振動方向Ｄ４に振動が付加されることにより、物品を放射方向Ｄ１に分散させながら下流（径方向外側）ＤＳに向けて搬送するように構成される。この場合、上述の振動方向Ｄ４と円周方向Ｄ２の振動とを合成したものを物品に付加する構成でも構わない。 For example, as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the distributed table 10 according to the present embodiment is subjected to vibration in a vibration direction D4 in the vertical direction U/D by a drive unit 20, which will be described later. Accordingly, the article is configured to be transported toward the downstream (radially outward) DS while dispersing the articles in the radial direction D1. In this case, a configuration may be adopted in which a combination of the vibrations in the vibration direction D4 and the vibration in the circumferential direction D2 is added to the article.
なお、分散テーブル１０は、かかる構成に限定されるものではなく、上下方向Ｕ/Ｄに伸びる回転軸Ｃの周りを回転駆動することで、物品を搬送部１１に向けて搬送する機構でも構わない。換言すると、かかる物品を搬送１１に向けて搬送する機能を有していればどのような構成でも構わない。 Note that the distribution table 10 is not limited to such a configuration, and may be a mechanism that transports articles toward the transport unit 11 by rotating around a rotation axis C extending in the vertical direction U/D. . In other words, any configuration may be used as long as it has the function of transporting such articles toward the transport 11.
例えば、かかる物品は、生の鶏肉等、柔らかく粘着性のある食品である。しかしながら、物品は、これらに限定されるものではない。具体的に、プルーン、カットパイン等の果物、砂糖が周りにコーティングされた飴等、どのような物品でも構わない。 For example, such an article is a soft and sticky food such as raw chicken. However, the articles are not limited to these. Specifically, any item may be used, such as fruits such as prunes and cut pineapple, or candy coated with sugar.
駆動部２０は、分散テーブル１０に対して、物品を搬送させる搬送力を付加する。本実施形態では、駆動部２０は、図２（ａ）及び図２（ｂ）に示すように、分散テーブル１０に対して、上下方向Ｕ/Ｄの振動方向Ｄ４に振動を付加するように構成される。 The drive unit 20 applies a conveyance force to the distribution table 10 to convey the articles. In this embodiment, the drive unit 20 is configured to apply vibration to the distribution table 10 in the vibration direction D4 in the vertical direction U/D, as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b). be done.
各搬送部１１は、分散テーブル１０から物品を受け取り、上流ＵＳから下流ＤＳに向けて物品を搬送する。本実施形態では、搬送部１１は、分散テーブル１０から供給される物品を、それぞれの下流ＤＳに対応して設けられたプールホッパ１２に供給するように構成されている。 Each transport unit 11 receives an article from the distribution table 10 and transports the article from the upstream US to the downstream DS. In this embodiment, the transport unit 11 is configured to supply the articles supplied from the distribution table 10 to the pool hopper 12 provided corresponding to each downstream DS.
ここで、各搬送部１１は、振動によって物品を搬送するタイプの振動フィーダによって構成されてもよいし、トラフ内に設けられているスクリューを回転することによって物品を搬送するタイプのスクリューフィーダによって構成されてもよい。 Here, each conveyance section 11 may be configured by a vibration feeder of a type that conveys the article by vibration, or a screw feeder of a type that conveys the article by rotating a screw provided in a trough. may be done.
各プールホッパ１２は、搬送部１１から排出される物品を一時的に受け取り、下流に配置されている各計量ホッパ１３に排出する。 Each pool hopper 12 temporarily receives the articles discharged from the transport section 11 and discharges them to each weighing hopper 13 arranged downstream.
各計量ホッパ１３は、プールホッパ１２が排出する物品を一時的に滞留させて、かかる物品の重量値を計量する。各計量ホッパ１３は、一時的に滞留させた物品を下流に配置される集合排出シュート１５に排出する。 Each weighing hopper 13 temporarily retains the articles discharged by the pool hopper 12 and measures the weight of the articles. Each weighing hopper 13 discharges the temporarily retained articles to a collection discharge chute 15 disposed downstream.
取得部３０は、計量ホッパ１３のそれぞれに滞留する物品の重量値を取得する。制御部３１は、取得部３０によって取得された物品の重量値に基づいて組合せ計算する。 The acquisition unit 30 acquires the weight values of the articles staying in each of the weighing hoppers 13. The control unit 31 performs combination calculations based on the weight values of the articles acquired by the acquisition unit 30.
集合排出シュート１５は、複数の計量ホッパ１３から排出される物品を集合させ、下方に向けて落下させる。 The collecting and discharging chute 15 collects the articles discharged from the plurality of weighing hoppers 13 and causes them to fall downward.
以下、図２～図３を参照して、本実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置１の分散テーブル１０の一例について説明する。 An example of the distribution table 10 of the combination weighing device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
図２（ａ）及び図２（ｂ）に示すように、分散テーブル１０は、物品を搬送する表面１０Ｓに複数の傾斜面（突出部）２２を有している。すなわち、分散テーブル１０における物品を搬送する表面１０Ｓには、鎧戸加工が施されている。鎧戸加工は、ルーバー加工でも構わない。 As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the distribution table 10 has a plurality of inclined surfaces (protrusions) 22 on the surface 10S for conveying articles. That is, the surface 10S of the distribution table 10 on which the articles are conveyed is subjected to shutter processing. The shutter processing may be louver processing.
本実施形態では、図２（ａ）及び図２（ｂ）に示すように、分散テーブル１０における物品を搬送する表面１０Ｓにおいて、複数の傾斜面２２が形成されている。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), a plurality of inclined surfaces 22 are formed on the surface 10S of the distribution table 10 that conveys the articles.
ここで、図３に示すように、複数の傾斜面２２は、放射方向Ｄ１に沿って上がっていく。なお、図２（ａ）に示すように、放射方向Ｄ１は、円周方向Ｄ２に直交し且つ上流ＵＳから下流ＤＳに向かう方向である。 Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of inclined surfaces 22 rise along the radial direction D1. Note that, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the radial direction D1 is perpendicular to the circumferential direction D2 and is a direction from the upstream US to the downstream DS.
図３に示すように、各傾斜面２２は、物品を搬送する表面１０Ｓに設けられた複数の突出部２２によって形成されている。また、図３に示すように、複数の突出部２２の放射方向Ｄ１の下端２２Ｅに、表面１０Ｓから裏面２４に向けた開口２１Ａが形成される。 As shown in FIG. 3, each inclined surface 22 is formed by a plurality of protrusions 22 provided on the surface 10S that conveys the article. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an opening 21A extending from the front surface 10S toward the back surface 24 is formed at the lower end 22E of the plurality of protrusions 22 in the radial direction D1.
換言すると、図３及び図４に示すように、分散テーブル１０は、複数の開口２１Ａを有する第１滑走面（表面）１０Ｓと、かかる開口２１Ａの一部を塞ぎ、第１滑走面１０Ｓよりも分散テーブル１０の上側Ｕの位置に配置される第２滑走面（傾斜面、突出部）２２とを有している。 In other words, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the dispersion table 10 has a first sliding surface (surface) 10S having a plurality of openings 21A, and a part of the openings 21A is closed, and the surface is larger than the first sliding surface 10S. It has a second sliding surface (sloped surface, protrusion) 22 disposed at a position above U of the distribution table 10.
第２滑走面２２は、上述の開口２１Ａの上流側ＵＳ、左側Ｌ及び右側Ｒにおいて第１滑走面１０Ｓに連続して形成されている。 The second sliding surface 22 is formed continuously from the first sliding surface 10S on the upstream side US, left side L, and right side R of the above-mentioned opening 21A.
具体的には、図４に示すように、第２滑走面２２は、左側平面２２Ｌと、右側平面２２Ｒと、上側平面２２Ｕとを有する。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the second sliding surface 22 has a left side plane 22L, a right side plane 22R, and an upper side plane 22U.
ここで、左側平面２２Ｌは、図４に示すように、開口２１Ａの左側Ｌにおいて第１滑走面１０Ｓから上側Ｕに向けて立ち上がるように形成されている。 Here, the left side plane 22L is formed to rise toward the upper side U from the first sliding surface 10S on the left side L of the opening 21A, as shown in FIG.
また、右側平面２２Ｒは、図４に示すように、開口２１Ａの右側Ｒにおいて第１滑走面１０Ｓから上側Ｕに向けて立ち上がるように形成されている。 Moreover, the right side plane 22R is formed to rise toward the upper side U from the first sliding surface 10S on the right side R of the opening 21A, as shown in FIG.
さらに、上側平面２２Ｕは、図４に示すように、左側平面２２Ｌと右側平面２２Ｒとを連結するように形成されている。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper plane 22U is formed to connect the left plane 22L and the right plane 22R.
かかる分散テーブル１０における物品を搬送する表面１０Ｓにおいて、図２及び図４に示すように、物品は、駆動部２０からの駆動力等により、第１滑走面１０Ｓ及び第２滑走面２２の上側平面２２Ｕに沿って、上側ＵＳから下側ＤＳに滑走する。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, on the surface 10S of the distribution table 10 on which the articles are conveyed, the articles are transferred to the upper planes of the first sliding surface 10S and the second sliding surface 22 due to the driving force from the drive unit 20, etc. Ski along 22U from upper US to lower DS.
かかる構成によれば、分散テーブル１０における物品を搬送する表面１０Ｓに傾斜面（突出部、第２滑走面）２２が設けられているため、粘着性の高い物品と表面１０Ｓとの接触面積を減らすことができ、表面１０Ｓへの物品の付着を低減することができ、適切に搬送制御できる。 According to this configuration, since the inclined surface (protrusion, second sliding surface) 22 is provided on the surface 10S of the distribution table 10 on which the articles are conveyed, the contact area between the highly adhesive articles and the surface 10S is reduced. This makes it possible to reduce adhesion of articles to the surface 10S, and to appropriately control conveyance.
さらに、表面１０Ｓに粘着性の高い物品が接触した場合であっても、開口２１Ａから空気が流入する。そのため、表面１０Ｓと物品との間に空気の層を形成でき、表面１０Ｓと物品とが接触する部分に置いても気圧がかかるようになる。これにより、表面１０Ｓへの物品の付着を低減できる。 Furthermore, even if a highly adhesive article comes into contact with the surface 10S, air flows in through the opening 21A. Therefore, a layer of air can be formed between the surface 10S and the article, and atmospheric pressure is applied even if the article is placed in a portion where the surface 10S and the article are in contact. Thereby, adhesion of articles to the surface 10S can be reduced.
なお、上記では開口２１Ａを形成する構成を説明したが、この構成に限定されず、開口２１Ａが存在しない構成でも構わない。 Although the configuration in which the opening 21A is formed has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a configuration in which the opening 21A does not exist may be used.
また、物品は、端部２２Ｅにより上流側ＵＳへの移動が規制されるため、円滑に下流側ＤＳへ搬送される。
（第２実施形態）
以下、図５を参照して、第２実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置１について、上述の第１実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置１との相違点に着目して説明する。
Furthermore, since the end portion 22E restricts the movement of the article toward the upstream side US, the article is smoothly conveyed to the downstream side DS.
(Second embodiment)
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 5, a combination weighing device 1 according to a second embodiment will be described, focusing on the differences from the combination weighing device 1 according to the above-described first embodiment.
本実施形態２では、図５（ａ）に示すように、分散テーブル１０は、上下方向Ｕ/Ｄに伸びる回転軸Ｃの周りを回転駆動することで、物品を搬送部１１に向けて搬送する。 In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the distribution table 10 transports the articles toward the transport unit 11 by rotating around a rotation axis C extending in the vertical direction U/D. .
ここで、本実施形態２では、図５（ａ）及び図５（ｂ）に示すように、分散テーブル１０における物品を搬送する表面１０Ｓにおいて、円周方向Ｄ２に沿って上がっていく複数の傾斜面２２が形成されている。 Here, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), on the surface 10S of the distribution table 10 on which the articles are conveyed, there are a plurality of slopes rising along the circumferential direction D2. A surface 22 is formed.
すなわち、本実施形態２では、図５（ｃ）に示すように、平面視において、傾斜面２２の上がっていく方向Ｄ３は、円周方向Ｄ２に一致する。なお、図５（ｃ）に示すように、平面視において、上側平面２２Ｕは、台形形状を有しており、傾斜面２２の上がっていく方向Ｄ３及び円周方向Ｄ２は、上側平面２２Ｕの上辺２２Ｕ１及び下辺２２Ｕ２に直交する。 That is, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(c), the upward direction D3 of the inclined surface 22 coincides with the circumferential direction D2 in plan view. Note that, as shown in FIG. 5(c), in plan view, the upper plane 22U has a trapezoidal shape, and the upward direction D3 and the circumferential direction D2 of the inclined surface 22 are the upper side of the upper plane 22U. 22U1 and the lower side 22U2.
（変更例１）
以下、図６を参照して、変更例１に係る組合せ計量装置１について、上述の第２実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置１との相違点に着目して説明する。
(Change example 1)
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 6, the combination weighing device 1 according to Modification Example 1 will be described, focusing on the differences from the combination weighing device 1 according to the above-described second embodiment.
図６に示すように、本変更例１では、傾斜面２２の上がっていく方向Ｄ３は、円周方向Ｄ２から所定角度Ａ１だけずれている。 As shown in FIG. 6, in the present modification example 1, the upward direction D3 of the inclined surface 22 is deviated from the circumferential direction D2 by a predetermined angle A1.
かかる構成によれば、物品が分散テーブル１０上を搬送される実際の軌跡に対応して傾斜面２２を形成できるため、より物品の付着を低減でき搬送性能を向上できる。 According to this configuration, since the inclined surface 22 can be formed in accordance with the actual locus of the article being conveyed on the dispersion table 10, it is possible to further reduce adhesion of articles and improve the conveyance performance.
（変更例２）
以下、図７及び図８を参照して、変更例２に係る組合せ計量装置１について、上述の第１及び第２実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置１との相違点に着目して説明する。

（変更例３）
以下、図９を参照して、変更例３に係る組合せ計量装置１について、上述の第１及び第２実施形態に係る組合せ計量装置１との相違点に着目して説明する。
(Change example 3)
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 9, the combination weighing device 1 according to Modification Example 3 will be described, focusing on the differences from the combination weighing device 1 according to the above-described first and second embodiments.
図９に示すように、変更例３において、分散テーブル１０は、頂角が鈍角な円錐部１０Ｂの中央に、頂角が鋭角な円錐部１０Ａを同軸に重ねた形状を有していてもよい。円錐部１０Ｂの直径は、円錐部１０Ａの直径よりも大きい。 As shown in FIG. 9, in modification example 3, the distribution table 10 may have a shape in which a conical portion 10A having an acute apex angle is coaxially stacked on the center of a conical portion 10B having an obtuse apex angle. . The diameter of the conical portion 10B is larger than the diameter of the conical portion 10A.
上述の組合せ計量装置１によれば、傾斜面２２によって、粘着性のある物品の分散テーブル１０の表面１０Ｓへの付着を抑止できる。 According to the combination weighing device 1 described above, the inclined surface 22 can prevent sticky articles from adhering to the surface 10S of the distribution table 10.
また、上述の組合せ計量装置１によれば、傾斜面２２の下端２２Ｅによって、物品に対して搬送部１１の搬送力を向上できる。 Further, according to the combination weighing device 1 described above, the lower end 22E of the inclined surface 22 can improve the conveying force of the conveying unit 11 for the article.
また、上述の組合せ計量装置１によれば、搬送力が付与される方向（円周方向Ｄ２或いは放射方向Ｄ１）に応じた傾斜面２２の配置とすることで、搬送力の強化と同時に分散性を向上できる。例えば、振動により物品を搬送する分散テーブル１０の場合、放射方向Ｄ１に沿って複数の傾斜面２２を配置し、モータを用いて回転させることで物品を搬送する分散テーブル１０の場合、円周方向Ｄ２に沿って複数の傾斜面２２を配置することで、意図した方向の搬送能力を向上できる。 Further, according to the combination weighing device 1 described above, by arranging the inclined surfaces 22 according to the direction in which the conveying force is applied (the circumferential direction D2 or the radial direction D1), the conveying force is strengthened and the dispersion is improved. can be improved. For example, in the case of a dispersion table 10 that conveys articles by vibration, a plurality of inclined surfaces 22 are arranged along the radial direction D1, and in the case of a dispersion table 10 that conveys articles by rotation using a motor, in the circumferential direction By arranging the plurality of inclined surfaces 22 along D2, the conveying ability in the intended direction can be improved.
さらに、上述の組合せ計量装置１によれば、分散テーブル１０の傾斜角度を抑制できるため、組合せ計量装置１の高さが高くなってしまうという問題点を解決できる。 Furthermore, according to the above-described combination weighing device 1, since the inclination angle of the dispersion table 10 can be suppressed, the problem that the height of the combination weighing device 1 becomes high can be solved.
